Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Platelet hyperreactivity was reported in clopidogrel-naiotave carriers of the H2 haplotype of the P2Y(12) platelet ADP receptor. Here, we studied the influence of this genetic variant on clopidogrel responsiveness. METHODS: ADP-mediated (5 micromol/L) platelet aggregation was determined by impedance (Omega) aggregometry in 43 clopidogrel-naïve blood donors and 557 patients treated with aspirin and...
